Celestia was not a particularly prominent character in the novel The Lost Hero. However, she had a close relationship with the main character, Abel.
Their connection began to show in volu four, when the two accidentally t in the city of Brindel.
At first, they only chatted casually about trivial matters.
However, Celestia gradually began to see Abel as an interesting student, especially since he had already achieved outstanding results at the academy.
As ti passed, their bond grew stronger.
Unfortunately, Celestia was not the female lead. Her role in the novel was limited to being soone who was "interested in the male lead," Abel.
From then on, she appeared less and less often until she eventually disappeared from the story completely.
rlin had a favorable impression of Celestia in the novel.
She was a kind and caring professor. Even though she was still new, she never intimidated her students or abused her position for personal gain.
She was also honest and genuine.
And now, Celestia had beco their horoom teacher. That was clearly good news for rlin.
Of course, he had no intention of making her a target of his conquest. He simply wanted to build a good relationship with her.
After all, for the next year, Celestia would be his teacher.
"Alright, everyone. We'll begin our first class. But before that, how about we introduce ourselves? After all, we'll be together for the next year," Celestia said gently. "In that case…"
She looked at the students one by one, occasionally glancing at rlin in the back row.
rlin noticed her gaze, but he pretended not to.
Celestia smiled inwardly. 'This boy is quite mischievous.'
She averted her eyes and asked, "Who would like to go first?"
No one raised a hand. They all felt shy and hoped soone else would step forward first.
Seeing that no one was willing, Celestia let out a small sigh and pointed at a boy in the front row.
"We'll start with you. Stand up and introduce yourself."
The boy froze. He glanced around at the others, who were staring at him with playful expressions.
Realizing he had no choice, he slowly stood and introduced himself in a timid voice.
"My na is Klein. I'm from the Arcadia Magic Kingdom. Nice to et you."
He quickly sat back down. Right after that, the student beside him stood up and introduced himself as well.
The classroom remained quiet, filled only with one introduction after another.
However, as the introductions dragged on and grew increasingly dull, Celestia suddenly cut off a female student mid-sentence.
"Don't just give your na and where you're from. Tell us your hobbies and your age too. If possible, share a bit about your background, so we can all get to know each other better."
The girl looked embarrassed, but she didn't dare to object.
She bit her lower lip and said, "My na is Tessia. I'm twelve years old, and I'm from the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria. I co from a farming family."
The mont she ntioned her background, several students burst out laughing.
"Pfft! She's from a farming family. How ridiculous."
"Yeah, that's pathetic. How did I end up in Class 1-A with a farr? Did the academy make a mistake?"
Their mocking voices were loud enough for everyone to hear.
Soon, others joined in, laughing and ridiculing the girl.
Tessia's face turned red with embarrassnt. Anger and sadness flickered in her eyes. She had known this would happen the mont she revealed her background.
Celestia frowned, about to scold them, when a cold voice suddenly echoed from the very back of the room.
"Is it funny to mock soone?"
A terrifying pressure slamd down on the ten students who had been laughing at Tessia.
Their faces turned pale, and their hearts pounded violently.
Under that pressure, they could barely breathe.
Just as they felt they were about to pass out, the pressure vanished.
They gasped for air and turned around, only to et rlin's cold, piercing gaze.
"If I hear you mocking those of lower status one more ti, I'll finish you off," he said coldly.
All ten of them imdiately lowered their heads, too frightened to et his eyes.
The scene left the entire class speechless.
Even Celestia fell silent, as if she didn't know what to say.
Tessia turned toward rlin, her eyes filled with gratitude.
rlin glanced at her and gave a small nod. The girl blushed and quickly looked away.
"Looks like soone's got a new admirer. That must be a blessing, right?"
A voice dripping with jealousy ca from his right.
rlin turned his head and saw Luna.
Catrine and Margaret also joined in, their voices filled with sarcasm.
"You're so thoughtful, rlin. Are you trying to turn every girl in this class into your fan?"
"It sure looks that way. Brother, you're truly disgusting!"
Each word felt like a knife stabbing into him. Hearing the word "disgusting," especially from his own younger sister, hit even harder.
"Ahem!" Celestia cleared her throat and quickly eased the tension. "Don't insult soone just because of their status. Who knows? The people you look down on today might beco powerful figures in the future. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for you? Alright, let's continue with the introductions."
With those words, the other students began introducing themselves.
Perhaps because of what had just happened, even the shy ones grew more confident, openly stating their identities and backgrounds.
And this ti, no one dared to comnt or mock. rlin's threat had terrified them so much that they probably wouldn't even sleep peacefully tonight.
"My na is Luvis," Luvis said as he slowly stood up, smiling gently. "I'm from the Knight Kingdom of Batrum. I'm thirteen years old. I was supposed to enter the academy two years ago, but because of the Skywing Crack, my enrollnt was delayed. I'm sure so of you experienced the sa thing."
He paused for a mont, then continued in a slightly prouder tone.
"As for my status, I co from a noble family. But… well, I can't ntion the na. It's a secret."
After saying that, he sat back down and crossed his arms, wearing an arrogant expression.
rlin looked at him with a aningful gaze and whispered, 'It seems he hasn't yet, or perhaps already has, realized his status as an illegitimate prince.'
In the original novel, Luvis's identity as the kingdom's second prince was a closely guarded secret. It was never explained when he discovered it. Not even Abel knew.
But according to rlin, the Luvis sitting before him should have already realized his true identity.
Otherwise, he would never have dared to invite Catrine into his circle.
Forming a circle was no different from building their own power and faction. It had only one purpose: the Battle of the Seven Rings.
"My na is Crystal, and I'm from the Arcadia Magic Kingdom. I'm thirteen years old, and my hobby is studying magic. I'm the daughter of one of the sages in my kingdom. Although my status is quite high, don't hesitate to be friends with ."
After introducing herself, Crystal sat down gracefully.
The male students looked captivated by her, while the girls watched her with admiration.
rlin stared at her calmly.
'It seems this girl also wants to throw herself into the Battle of the Seven Rings,' he whispered.
It wasn't his concern, but he still had to make sure Luna, Margaret, Catrine, and those closest to him didn't get involved in that battle.
Even if they insisted on joining, he wouldn't stop them. He would simply support them from behind the scenes.
After Crystal, the others began introducing themselves. Before rlin realized it, it was Margaret's turn.
The girl stood up gracefully and said, "My na is Margaret, and you may call by that na. I co from the Beethoven family, the academy's primary benefactor. It's a pleasure to et you all."
She bowed slightly, elegant and composed.
'Damn… this girl is showing off,' Luna muttered irritably.
The others could also sense Margaret's arrogance, but no one dared to mock her.
After all, everyone knew the power of the Beethoven family.
Next ca Luna, followed by Catrine, Monica, Liora, and Nysera.
Originally, rlin was supposed to go right after Luna. But the girls insisted that he introduce himself last.
Under everyone's gaze, rlin stood up calmly and said casually, "Most of you already know my na, so I don't see the need to introduce myself again."
His words were arrogant, but no one dared to question him.
"I co from the Viscount Clay family in the city of Droswen, in the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria. As for my hobby… hmm…"
rlin stroked his chin as if thinking, then answered hesitantly, "Maybe sleeping."
Everyone: "…"
"Pfft!" Celestia chuckled softly. "You're quite the joker, rlin Clay."
rlin smiled and bowed his head politely.
"Thank you for the complint, Professor."
Celestia's impression of him improved by a few points.
"Alright," she said, looking around the room. "Since this is the first day, I won't start with theory. We'll begin with practice."
"Practice?" The students looked surprised.
Celestia nodded. "I don't know your abilities or limits yet. So the fastest way is to see them in action. Let's go."
